Medial medullary syndrome

Medial medullary syndrome is when you have a problem in a specific part of your brain called the medulla oblongata. The medulla oblongata controls important things in your body like your breathing, your heart rate, and your ability to swallow.

When you have medial medullary syndrome, you might have trouble moving one side of your body. This means that you might not be able to move your arm or leg on one side, or you might have trouble feeling things on one side of your body.

You might also have trouble speaking, because the part of your brain that controls your ability to talk can be affected. You might find it hard to say words or form sentences correctly.

If you have this syndrome, it's really important that you get help from a doctor or nurse to make sure you get the right treatment. They might give you medicine or recommend physical therapy to help you recover.
